Internet Connection Sharing - dial up and D-Link Router.

[sree]

I am having two systems at home. A desktop and a notebook
both running XP. I am using dial up for my internet
connection thru desktop. I am trying to access internet on
my notebook using a D-Link DI - 514 wireless router. I am
able to see the other machine but not able to access
internet on laptop.

If I use a D-Link DSS 5+ switch, I am able to connect to
internet from my notebook (using dial up connection on my
desktop).

The reason I want to use router is to use wireless access.

I am doing something wrong it seems, but I don't know what
it is. Do I need to change any configurations or
settings!!

You need to bypass the wireless router's routing capability and use it
as a wireless access point only. Here's how. Check the router's
documentation for help with steps 2-4:

1. Connect the desktop's Ethernet adapter to one of the router's wired
LAN ports, not to its WAN (Internet) port.

2. Using the desktop, access the router's built-in web server, which
is usually at an address like http://192.168.0.1 or
http://192.168.1.1

3. Disable the router's built-in DHCP server.

4. Change the router's LAN IP address to 192.168.0.254 to be
compatible with Internet Connection Sharing.

Thanks Steve. I disabled router's DHCP Server and using it
as a access point only. It is working great. Thanks a lot.
